Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This bright Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of a green hue shows an impressive range of aromas on the nose. A combination of passion fruit, blackcurrant, and grapefruit on the nose with hints of mineral notes. The expression of the nose follows through to the palate, passion fruit, and gooseberry, but with great salinity, complexity, and length. The wine is fresh, with great balanced acidity and a lingering finish.

The ideal wine aperitif but best enjoyed with food. A refreshing wine which pairs well with salads and seafood dishes. Richer seafood and cheese platters make it work through autumn and winter.

    This shows notes of sliced apples, ripe guava, lemon flesh and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied and round-textured with crisp, lively acidity and delicious fruit character. Impressive tension and flinty finish.

    COMMENTARY: The 2022 Paul Cluver Sauvignon Blanc is bright and delicious. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of dried herbs, savory earth, and black olives. Pair crackers topped with goat cheese and sardines. (Tasted: February 13, 2023, San Francisco, CA)

The estate falls within the Kogelberg Reserve where conservation and sustainable use of natural resources are pursued with the ultimate goal of balance and harmony between man and nature. The Kogelberg Nature Reserve, which forms the core of The Biosphere, is a fynbis floral kingdon with an incredible 1,600 different plant species, making it one of the world's richest sites of plant diversity.

Within this unique environment exists virgin land some 400-500m above sea level with a variety of soils, aspects and microclimates. The high, cool Elgin Mountain plateau, with its close proximity to the sea and protection by the mountins, is idealy situated for the production of premium varietal wines. this provides the ideal environment for slower ripening grapes of finess and delicacy that characterise Paul Cluver Wines.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
